MGI Joyce|Dickson

Great experience with Chris and Austin. They have facilitated a stress free business start up. Always quick to respond and take their time to explain things clearly. They work hard to ensure you are getting the most out of your earnings. Couldn't recommend anyone more qualified to look after your business/taxation needs.

I highly recommend MGI Joyce Dickson, they got me up to date on all my lodgements with a refund better than expected.MGI have recently assisted in the set up of my new business Cosmic Therapies and I am extremely happy with the service, cost and customer service.

MGI Joyce Dickson has handled my accounts/business for 15 years. Reliable, forward thinking accountants - great to work with! I/we only refer clients to someone I would refer my family members to and I would certainly recommend this company.

I started my dance business with the assistance and guidance of MGI and I have been extremely happy with their service. They always take the time to answer all of my questions and give me the best advice. Friendly and easy to deal with, MGI gave me the confidence to go ahead with my new business and so far have had nothing but success!

Working with Chris Fusca has been such a relief. Chris is the first accountant that really takes a solid interest in my business, my goals and someone that I know really knows his stuff. Working with someone that takes my tax situation personally is real find! I can't recommend Chris enough! I will be definitely recommending Chris to all my close family and close friends!

Matt Bramhall and the team at MGI Joyce Dickson quite frankly have been phenomenal. We made the switch and have never looked back. Usually not one to post reviews such as this, I felt compelled to advise that Matt in particular has taken great care (and time) to work through a number of tedious issues that have taken a great weight off our shoulders. - Nathan Dunn

A great team to work with, very understanding and take good care with my tax and financial aspects. Their availability and readiness to explain each step is always a breath of fresh air. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Its always disappointing to give a less than positive review.This firm charges highly but I'm not confident they weren't putting their interests ahead of ours. We decided to not take their advice on some compliance issues about our trust deed and were very pleased we chose not to based on subsequent compliance advice. The firm was very rude to one of us when we questioned what we were being charged for and why the need for the proposed change. The motives were murky to me, even after we had taken the trouble to have a senior partner give us an explanation of just why this was required.We persisted for a few years but found we could not get the service we were looking for. It sometimes took what I felt was a long time to get our SMSF return lodged and follow up calls were sometimes required. We gave up on the firm's information seminars because of inconsistency eg. one year we were told that in specie transfer such as shares couldn't be made to our fund and the next year it was okay to do it. What's that do for confidence?I felt that every piece of information I could benefit from only came if I paid a bit more. I expect that approach from a corner store and not from my professional adviser if I don't know what I don't know but to be fair this can often be a problem with Canberra advisers who self style themselves as experts. We had a warning letter from the ATO about late lodgement but this wasn't a problem when we took over active management of lodgement.We also received an excess transfer balance determination for our superannuation that was not required because they kept lodging transfer balance information using a different account number each time (up to 5 times in one of our cases!) that just kept duplicating the amount. I found this just a basic lack of competence. This was an error that cost us more money with our new advisers to fix this on top of the additional fees over our SMSF administration fees we paid to do the original lodgements.In the end we voted with our feet and went elsewhere, immediately finding out about something from our new advisers that we could have been doing all along which saved us several thousand in expenses. It was just another annoying factor.

I highly recommend MGI Joyce Dickson, always receive such great service from a dedicated team. Prompt with their responses and live up to their promises. Will continue to use this firm and recommend to all my family and friends.

We are a commercial tenant where the tenancy negotiations were managed by MGI Joyce Dickson on behalf of the Self Managed Super Fund that owns our building. We went through the process of attempting to negotiate a renewal and the appraisals provided weren't really aligned with the current market. Long story short, we ended up securing an alternative property at a much better price. Lorin was very slow to respond to communications (usually taking more than a week to respond to emails) and often required follow ups before getting a response. On the flip side the people working in accounts (Katrina) has always been lovely to deal with and very responsive.
